The two walked out of the hall, the mask on the man's face covered up the emotions underneath, and after listening to the words of the people next to him, he chuckled, "The second prince is indeed brave and resourceful, but he is proud and complacent, and his suspicion is too heavy, even if we help him sit on the throne of the prince, he may not feel that he has our credit, and besides, the second prince is deep and difficult to control, such a person is like a wolf, and he will never be able to train him." ”

"The Eighth Prince is different, although he has been poisoned, he is still favored by His Majesty, and he is not as scheming as the Second Prince, isn't it because of the Eighth Prince's illness that His Majesty has been hesitating, and when his illness is treated, not only will he thank us, but even His Majesty will appreciate us for this."

When Jiang Shennan heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth, and looked like he suddenly realized, looking at Mu Xi's eyes were full of appreciation, and his amorous fox eyes were crooked, and he laughed, "It's worthy of Ah Xi, it's really thoughtful." ”

Then he couldn't bear to frown, and said worriedly, "In that case, the second prince Jun Yanke is the biggest competitor, this is not easy to do." ”

He thought about this question, how could Mu Xi not expect it, after asking this sentence, Mu Xi was rarely silent, and it took a long time before he spoke, "Take one step at a time, and get the medicine first to restore the sick body of the eighth prince is the key." ”

"Hmm." Jiang Shennan nodded, and then seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "Oh yes, Shuyi sent me a message before, saying that Yun Ruonan wanted to come to Cangming Country, let us pick her up." ”

Hearing the name that he had not seen for a long time, after so many years, Mu Xi's heart that was as calm as stagnant water seemed to have a trace of waves, he stopped and looked at him sideways, "Ruonan? Then take her over. ”

Jiang Shennan hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "But I see that Shuyi's letter is very anxious...... Oh no, it should be Yun Ruonan who is in a hurry, she doesn't seem to want to stay there. ”

"Oh? Is it? When Mu Xi heard this, the corners of his lips raised slightly, "I'm afraid Ruonan already hates him." ”

Jiang Shennan paused, "But the day after tomorrow, there will be a royal banquet, and the second prince may have a move, I can't get out of here and go to the country." ”

Mu Xi walked forward and said slowly, "Don't panic, I'll pick her up after this time, and I'll just contact her." ”

……

As the days passed, the weather was getting colder and colder, just like Yun Ruonan's heart, getting colder and colder.

Yun Ruonan's complete disappointment with Mu Yang was also on that day, a ...... A day of wind and snow made her no longer able to forgive him.

At that time, Yun Ruonan was embroidering in the inner hall, just to pass the time, embroidering the peach petals, and the embroidery was not good.

Suddenly, I heard a panicked voice coming from outside the door and reaching the door, "Niangniang is not good, Niangniang is not good!" ”

Before anyone saw it, they heard it.

I have always known Xiao Yan's impatient temperament, and Yun Ruonan is not surprised.

Sure enough, when Yun Ruonan was a little helpless in his heart, the door of the inner hall was pushed open, "Niangniang is not good!" ”

Yun Ruonan didn't bother to raise his eyelids, continued to embroider, and quipped, "This palace is very good, what's wrong." ”

"It's not about you, mother." Xiao Yan seemed to be a little anxious, the whole person was in a hurry, and the anxious look on her face appeared, "It's the concubine Niangniang!" ”

"What's wrong with the concubine?" Yun Ruonan didn't react much, and asked along with her words.

"Concubine Niangniang, pregnant!"

"Hiss......"

As soon as the words came out, Yun Ruonan's heart fell, and a needle accidentally pierced the fingertips, and with a painful sound, he withdrew his hand, looked at the bloody fingers, and frowned.

Only then did he look up at Xiao Yan with a little disbelief, "Concubine An is pregnant?" ”

"It's true, mother." Xiao Yan said, with a look of almost crying on her face, "The imperial doctor went to check this morning, and she is indeed pregnant, and she ...... Half a month ago, the emperor also stayed in the Luanyin Palace...... Mother......

Yun Ruonan was stunned, and she didn't react from her words for a long time.

Then he came back to his senses, knocked his eyes lightly, wiped the blood on the tip of his index finger with a handkerchief, and then picked up the embroidery needle in his hand and continued to embroider, "Isn't it a good thing to be pregnant, at the emperor's age, there should have been a group of children a long time ago, which is a bad thing." ”

Obviously, she noticed that her mother's mood was not high, and Xiaoyan knew it even more, after all, she heard about the pregnancy of the concubine when she had no child, and no one was uncomfortable.

She hopes that Niangniang can vent all her emotions, and it is really distressing for her to smile so silently.

If she hadn't seen Niangniang waiting for the emperor at the gate of the palace before, she had seen Niangniang lose her child and sit all day and all night without eating or drinking, and she would have seen Niangniang's duplicity, she really thought that Niangniang really wouldn't care.

Now the mother is duplicitous!

I don't know how uncomfortable it is!

Thinking like this, Xiao Yan's heart was even more bitter, and she stepped forward carefully, "Niangniang......"

Yun Ruonan raised her eyes, and a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, "Why are you crying with a sad face?" Isn't that great? The emperor has a child again, so he should be happy. ”

As he spoke, he reached out and pinched the corner of her mouth, pinching out a touch of arc.

Xiao Yan's eyes were red, her nose was sore, and tears flowed out, "Niangniang, if you feel uncomfortable, just cry, just cry." ”

The warm liquid flowed between her fingers pinching the corners of Xiaoyan's mouth, but Yun Ruonan didn't speak again, stopped what she was doing, and even the smile on her face sank.

He took his hand back, his eyes were on the peach petals he had embroidered, and his thoughts gradually flew away, as if he was reminiscing.

Then he pulled away a smiling smile, "This palace is not uncomfortable, since he is the emperor, then he will be as beautiful as a cloud, and there will be a group of children, what is really uncomfortable is that he has never thought about me in his heart, never." ”

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been fortunate to the other concubines at this juncture when she had no children, poked her in pain, and embarrassed her so much.

Yun Ruonan never thought that the contrast between people would be so strong.

In the morning, it was found out that the concubine was pregnant, and the emperor went to the Luanyin Palace in person that night, and the next day the Luanyin Palace rewarded many people, and there was no need for An Guifei to do big and small things, so he did it on behalf of others.

In addition, there are three more imperial doctors in the Luanyin Palace, who are always paying attention to all kinds of tonic and fetal medicines, and even all the food in the stomach must be controlled by the imperial doctors one by one, so as not to have any accidents.

Even if it is just a fetus that is half a month pregnant, it is enough to make the emperor frightened to this point.

Thinking of this, Yun Ruonan smiled.

is also a pregnant concubine, one is held in the palm of her hand and taken care of, but the other is troublesome and secretly eradicated, this comparison, Yun Ruonan's heart is even more bitter.

Perhaps, the person in his heart has always been Concubine An, and the position of queen is just a pawn arranged by him.

There are also those things that Shuyi said to herself before, what emperor has always cared about herself, the concubine fell into the water and was poisoned, his face was protective, and he didn't have any trust in her, and he entered the cold palace.

I'm afraid it's not at all as Shuyi said, it's because of the control of the concubine's faction.

It was never her who he cared about.

All he cares about is the imperial power and the world.

The snow outside was very large, and the big tree in the courtyard was already covered with snow, bending the waist of the tree, and the ground was covered with snow, pure and clean.

Yun Ruonan seemed to think of something, got up, opened the door, walked out, let the snow fall on him, and could hear the sound of snow when he stepped on it, and walked straight to the snow-capped tree.

He stopped in front of the tree, looked up at the big tree, then slowly crouched down, stretched out his hand, and began to peel off the thick layer of snow under it with his bare hands.

After a while, his hands were already red from the cold, but he still didn't stop.

Peel off the white snow, and then peel off the layer of soil underneath, and the gray mud and the white thick snow mix together, which is particularly eye-catching.

Yun Ruonan kept this action as if she was unconscious, as if she wanted to take out the things buried underneath.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally touched a bumpy thing, Yun Ruonan's movements stopped, looking at the tips of the shoes that popped up, his nose was sore, and his vision blurred all of a sudden.

Yun Ruonan snorted, pressed back the bitterness in his heart, and then accelerated the movement in his hand, no matter how heavy the snow was or how cold the weather was, he quickly took out all the things buried underneath.

It was a basket full of children's clothes and shoes, as well as some small toys.

It was bought when she and Shuyi went shopping in Shucheng before, and she was still looking forward to the child in her belly, looking forward to the day when he was born and could wear these clothes and play with these toys, babbling and calling herself "mother".

It's just that when she learned that the child was gone, she buried all of this under the tree in order not to be upset, but whenever she saw this tree, she couldn't help but think of the child who hadn't had time to see the world yet.

She hated, she hated her own powerlessness, hated herself for failing to protect him, and at the same time she hated Mu Yang even more, hated his ruthlessness, hated his lack of affection, even if he had a little bit of true affection for her, he would not do it.

originally thought that she would slowly relax after a month, but after hearing that Concubine An was pregnant and Mu Yang's various reactions, she had to admit that the sense of gap in her heart intensified, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

It turned out that she had been deceiving herself, thinking that she would not be heartbroken if she didn't see these objects, but just by hearing Mu Yang's name, she couldn't help but think about it, and her heart hurt even more.

The pain was so painful that she couldn't breathe.

The previous emotions had been well hidden, she thought she was strong enough, but the last straw that crushed her was the caring attitude of the pregnant concubine Mu Yang.

Disappointment, despair, helplessness, and death of the heart came churning in that moment.

The trembling hand slowly moved to the objects in the basket, and when he touched the soft fabric, he couldn't help but hazy his eyes and cried.

Finally, he picked it up, cleaned the dirt on it one by one, held it in the palm of his hand, lowered his head, and his body trembled, after all, he couldn't hold back his crying loudly.
